Aristotelian tradition(as contrasted with Eckhart's mystical approach): The philosophical school of thought based on Aristotle's ideas (ancient Greek philosopher, 384-322 BCE), which emphasizes logical reasoning, careful observation, and the view that causes and effects are distinct things.
Demandingness(as a characteristic that marks excellence rather than inappropriateness): The quality of being difficult, challenging, or requiring a lot of effort—in this case, the idea that true intellectual excellence is hard to achieve.
Stable disposition(as what genuine intellectual virtue is said to be): A consistent, lasting tendency or habit that someone has—not just a one-time action, but something they do reliably over and over.
Virtue epistemology(as the main philosophical approach being discussed): A theory about knowledge that focuses on the intellectual qualities and character traits (like careful reasoning or intellectual honesty) that help us gain true beliefs, rather than just focusing on the rules or logic of belief.
